EditorClient::handleKeyboardEvent() eventually calls
WebViewClient::handleCurrentKeyboardEvent() in the Chromium WebKit API. I
have an application that would like to intercept certain key up events and
perform application-specific actions if the events have not already been
consumed by JavaScript (which seems to be the situation in which
EditorClient::handleKeyboardEvent() is called). Is there some way currently
to do this?
